Apples cooked in a thick sweet cinnamon glaze. Inspired by Cracker Barrel's Fried Apples, this stovetop caramelized apple recipe makes a delicious dessert or side.
Heat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add butter and allow to melt.
Add diced apples, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-17 minutes or until apples are soft, stirring occasionally.
While apples are cooking, make a slurry by mixing water and flour. When the apples are soft, add slurry to the skillet. Allow to cook until sauce has thickened.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Apples to use: Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Fuji are great choices. Avoid soft apples such as red delicious because it gets mushy quickly.Stir Occasionally: Be sure to stir while apple cooks and soften to keep the bottom of the pan/pot from burning.
